Beautifully Engraved Percussion Schuetzen Rifle with False Muzzle

This rifle has no visible markings, but it has beautiful Germanic engraving patterns. The side plate depicts a German silver inlaid mermaid blowing a horn. The rifle has a false muzzle, globe front sight, dual gold bands on the breech plug, tang mounted peep sight, adjustable double set triggers, mainly German silver furniture (including the spurred trigger guard and Swiss style buttplate), and a nicely figured half-length stock with a checkered wrist and a large cheek rest. The trigger plate has a tap for fitting a palm rest (not included).

ConditionFine with 90% plus of the period refinished blue on the barrel, dark patina and mild oxidation/pitting on the breech and lock, attractive aged patina and crisp engraving on the furniture, and generally minor overall wear. The stock is very fine and has attractive figure and grain, crisp checkering, minor dings and scratches, and a small chip at the tail of the left stock flat. Mechanically excellent.
